Tres

Another decent run this morning. Getting up at 5:00 isn't as bad as I thought it would be. Note to self-- It's time for a new alarm clock. Every time you even touch the $10 cheapo we bought years ago,m the time moves ahead a minute or two. Next thing you know, I'm going to be setting the alarm for 5 and waking up at 4:30.

I figured out my 3 mile run for Saturday morning. From the corner of our neighborhood to the train station and back. Nothing scenic about the run, but it will get me my mileage. The knee feels really good today. I'm very surprised. Still, I'm going to remain careful about it and not overdo the running.

My Popdose entry about Great Strides and "Here Comes the Sun" went up this morning. It turned out nicely and I am a little impressed with myself for attaching so many links and media to the posting. Not that I'm going to become some kind of web guru, but it's nice to have a little bit of knowledge on how these things work. I am really thrilled about the exposure Popdose is giving the Basement Songs series. The best part is having the songs there for readers to listen to as they read along. Anyway, we received a couple of donations from readers of Popdose. Again, it always amazes me how strangers will jump in to help one another. Thank you everyone.

Not much else to tell. My head's still a little cloudy from waking up so early.

Aloha

Take something called proteolytic enzymes (a health food store should have it) on an empty stomach 2-3x a day. They're anti-inflammatory. You can also make a tea by cutting up ginger into a pot of water, bring it to a boil, steep about 6 bags of tea (per gallon of water) for 20 minutes, put the concoction in the fridge overnight, strain out the ginger, drink a quart of the tea a day. Filled with anti-oxidants and the ginger is also anti-inflammatory. Oh, and fish oil. 3 caps a day with food. Not only anti-inflammatory but gives your coat the high-pro glow.

Basement Songs: "Golden Gates" by John Cougar Mellencamp

I’m not sure when my brother, Budd, bought his copy of John (then) Cougar Mellencamp’s “Uh Huh”. The cassette just showed up in the basement on summer, years after its release. Like most of America, I was a big fan of “Pink Houses”, and I was thrilled that now had copies of his other big hits from that album, “Crumblin’ Down” and “The Authority Song.” At this point in his career, Mellencamp was ready to establish himself as a legitimate artist, hence the use of his real name (the record label wouldn’t allow him to ditch the “Cougar” until years later for fear record buyers may get confused….huh?) In addition, there was the radio staple (at least in Cleveland), “Play Guitar”, on side 2, which borrowed heavily from Them’s “Gloria” (Mellencamp often slipped the “G-L-O-R-I-A”’s into his concerts during that number). The rest of “Uh Huh” is filled with more of the same 60’s garage band type of rock that Mellencamp champions, as well as one of Budd’s favorite tunes, the John Prine co-pe...

A Trip Through the "My 90's Tapes" Collection Pt. 9: Mötley Crüe, "Girls, Girls, Girls"

Column 3, Row 13: Mötley Crüe , Girls Girls Girls. I was never a big fan of Mötley Crüe. I liked their radio hits, but I never listened to one of their albums in their entirety until 1989’s Dr. Feelgood , which was orchestrated in a way to dominate radio stations and suck in casual fans, like me, who had trouble getting past the Crüe’s purposeful sleaziness. That said I always admired them more than the other Sunset Strip bands. Bassist Nikki Sixx and drummer Tommy Lee were such a formidable rhythm section and laid down a solid groove to all their music. Guitarist Mick Mars had a knack for making his guitar hiss sinister, matching his perpetual scowl. Vince Neil was nothing to write home about as a vocalist, which made his unpolished singing just a little more intriguing than most of the other front then who dominated mainstream rock in the mid-late 80’s. Girls Girls Girls was released in May of 1987, just in time for a long summer of Mötley Crüe taking over the mi...
